What's the funniest thing a pet has done on a zoom call?

Am I the only one with six cats? Probably.


Needless to say, there have been some *special guest appearances* during prospect/client/internal meetings.


A couple of my faves:


While in the middle of delivering the best presentation of my life to an $8B firm, one cat jumped on the desk, put her face in the camera and let out the loudest meow ever. Luckily it was early in the pandemic so it got a few chuckles and didn't kill the deal.


While filming a vid for LinkedIn, my extremely CHONKY boy decided to jump down from the cat tree (yes, I had to place a cat tree next to my desk so they would get off the damned keyboard) onto my desk which resulted in an extremely loud THUD that was clearly picked up by the microphone (and definitely caught on camera. Since I didn't miss a beat, I left it in the video because I thought it made me more relatable. Turns out I was right!


Obviously there have been many scenes of cats licking their ass while in full view of the camera.


What's yours?

I'm sure someone can top me, but here it goes. One rather weird colleague of mine has his snake terrarium in his Zoom background and the damn python was devouring a mouse while he was giving a presentation to our entire department on top of funnel prospecting best practices.


Got a few "WTF is up with this kid" Slacks from that one.

Haha everyone says that until they actually come into my home. Itโ€™s not overwhelming at all.

but itโ€™s a โ€œblended familyโ€, as my partner and I both had cats when we moved in together.ย 

no. Iโ€™m not replacing them as they go. I donโ€™t plan on having this many in the future.ย

My cat will literally show up in the middle of my camera's view and stick his butthole up close and personal. I'm convinced he does it on purpose.

He also likes to sit in front of me so that it looks like he's on the zoom call instead of me. It's the best.ย

I need evidence of this.ย 

I also love your cat.

Sounds like she needs some solid operations help - the accountant can only do what they can with what they have.
